Advice for Grizzly crossbow

[Melmark]

Hello, looking for some advice. I have shot my new Grizzly about 30 times and have left it cocked overnight 3 or 4 nights. My brace height still measures 1.5 inches. I just installed a set of Dannys sound suppressors and as you can see they are not all the way in against the shoulder and I still measure 1/4" from the string to the suppressor tip. I am wondering if, at this point I should go ahead and unstring the bow and lengthen the string to get:
1. brace height to 1 inch
2. supressors in all the way against the shoulder
3. supressor distance to the string at 1/8"

Or maybe I should just leave it alone and not overthink it....what do your thoughts?
sorry...probs uploading pic

I'm no pro at this, but I had the same thing happen with my Dr. Stirrup bumpers. My advice would be to get it as close as possible without compromising your brace height, Loctite the screws in with blue Loctite and leave it there. I make sure that my string is on the faint line provided on the rail.

P.S.- I too love my Grizzly!!!

I think that I'm good now......unstrung and untwisted the string about 7 or 8 twists. That allowed me to slide the supressors (like reds) in all the way to the shoulder. After doing this the string is about 1/8" from the bumpers and I have a 1" brace height. I know that I will have to watch the dimensions as I shoot more but looks good for now.

Your bow is a Matrix model as is my 355.......As I have been told and adhere too, you want a 1/4" to 5/16" gap between the end of Danny's "Baby Bumpers" ( or a set of REDS ) to the front edge of the string.

I have also read here of some descrepancy in recommended brace height on the Grizzly model, with the majority reporting their best accuracy and performance at 1 1/2" brace height.

I'm sure someone will chime in to confirm, or if I'm mistaken they will correct my suggestion.

On my Micro 335 I have adjusted string 2 times,left it cocked all night and string touched bumpers put on ff string and adjusted it again after 4 shots..Micro has line and I was told to put string on inside of line not in middle and that puts it about 1/4 away from r.e.d.s...

I had the same problem with my Grizzly, used flat washers on the REDS, two on each, gave me 1/4 inch of the bumpers, with a 1.5 inch brace height. Be sure to loctite the screws.
Hope that helps.

I like that idea......the bow shot so well at 1.5" brace height that I moved it back to that dimension and installed 2 washers behind ea. baby bumper...just as you recommended. Thanks for the tip.

That's great Mark
I love the Grizzly, shoots great, and is my 1st crossbow.
Used stock bolts and bolt cutters to take a nice fat spike in 2015

What kind of string are you shooting? To many turns will not be good for your center serving!!

I am using the stock string. I think that I am about right back where I started when the bow was delivered. I read a few posts about unwinding the serving string so I put it back where it was.

Thanks

If you do not have a spare string I would suggest that you get yourself a Flemish string from any one of the string builders on this sight,,you may find that you won't need those washers to close the gap of the string to the bumpers,,the bow will shoot softer and you won't compromise any significant speed

I just received my baby bumpers (Danny's) from Wyverns, and with a 1.5" brace height, my bumpers lack a whole in of touching the string, even as far out as I dare to go. The posts on my bumpers are only 3/4" long from the shoulder to the end. I ordered the Matrix set; is it possible that these are made for the Micro?

I'm new to this game and to the Forum, but havin' a blast! Thanks for any help you can give this newbie.

Is it possible to get a visual, can anyone post a pic of what it should look like?

Grizzly uses the Micro set of Danny's bumpers. They are longer.

Thanks for the tip. I spoke with Danny on the phone late yesterday afternoon and he told me the same thing. BTW, what a great guy he is! As I posted, I'm new to this game and he treated me like an old friend.
